Krim Family Expects New Baby

A local family who experienced a tremendous loss a year ago has something to celebrate. Kevin and Marina Krim's two young children, Lulu, 6 and Leo, 2, were allegedly murdered by their nanny in their Upper West Side home last year. The Krim's 4-year-old daughter, Nessie, was with her mother at swimming lessons at the time, and the family has spoken publicly about how they have gotten through such a horrific tragedy by focusing on their surviving daughter. On May 16, the Krims announced through the Facebook page for the Lulu and Leo Fund, set up in memory of their children, that they are expecting another baby.

"We are very happy to let you know that Marina is expecting a baby in the fall," the couple wrote. "Nessie can't wait to welcome her new baby brother. We are filled with many emotions as we look to the future, but the most important one is hope. We are very grateful to you all for your amazing support."

The joyful announcement received 139 supportive comments and 1,233 "likes" as of press time.
